'Control' by Andy Diggle and Angela Cruickshank with art by Andrea Mutti is a crime story about a loner cop who stumbles across a conspiracy. Which is a similar plot to other cop stories.
Detective-Seargeant Kate Burnham is a cop in Washington D.C. She's not out to make friends, and when her decision to help a hanging man leaves her partner to die, they like her even less. She finds her allies along the way, though. Like the cop from another district who likes her instincts. Those instincts lead to more trouble for Kate though. Now she has to decide to pursue the case outside of the police force. It's a case of corruption and perversion that leads to the heights of government.
It's a pretty standard cop story. Rogue cop gets kicked off the force but can't let the case go. It's decent enough, and I liked the art for this story.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Pretty by-the-numbers crime thriller; it's got the hard nosed cop, the inept and hypocritical brass, and a shadowy conspiracy effectuated by men in power. All together it's a solid C outing, buoyed by the potential of an interesting female friendship/collaboration between characters in the future.
I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Solid detective story, update on a classic genre utilizing the modern relationship between media and power - with a little of the feminist struggle dropped in. Went down smoother than 3 episodes of Law & Order after a big meal. Love it, would absolutely read a follow up.

A solid political crime thriller, with lots of contemporary themes and a bad ass female detective who's tired of it all. Somewhat surprised he didn't just call the Murdoch analog "Fox". Some elements remind me of Scarlet or even the latest season of Daredevil, but this is ultimately a much simpler story.

Typical crime mystery. This was entertaining but not great. The art was okay and the story felt rushed as it skipped scenes. I think this could have been better if it were more developed and filled out. The characters felt flat and didn't seem anything original either. An okay story.
